If you did not know, Verizon being the great people they are have locked the bootloader on their version of the S5. In this state I am obviously unable to even root my device. Now I know I can't be the only one upset by this, which leads me to my question. Are their any development teams working on finding an exploit in the G900V's bootloader? I am willing to help if any group of such people exist, thank you for any replies.

As we now have a working cm10.1.
Would it be possible for someone to port Sailfish OS or Ubuntu touch to i9505 jfltexx ?
Please like this post if your not a developer and this would be beneficial to you.

Please show support. No-one develops if there is no need for it in the community.
I'm sure the devs want to have an unlocked bootloader.

I9505 is the quad core version of the s4
I9500 is the dual quadcore (octacore with littleBIG architecture)
This thread is to request for the former.

Bump .
Hey everyone, I had a question. I have a rooted s4 on 4.2.2 and I might upgrade to 4.3. If I were to do that would it just get rid of my root and update to 4.3 or will it wreck havoc on my device? Or should I not even update because its not worth it? Also are there any good root keeper apps that work? I heard that the su survival mode doesn't work so well.
Thank you. Much appreciated! Sorry for all the ?

I did take the time to read it and all I see in that thread is an old thread stating that the 4.3 update will he released Nov. 13 which was pulled, and now its the 30th. Also I kept reading (I even read the posts that didn't have anything to do with the thread) believe it or not, and couldn't find it, but its okay. I appreciate the help. Thx.

Why would you want to give up the ability to root and or have custom ROM? I must have missed the part on fascination with 4.3. But in the end the decision is yours good luck.

So there will never be a way to root ever again on 4.3?

Eventually. If I where on an unlocked bootloader like you, I'd stay put so I can load other roms. If you update to MF3, all you have is SafetyStrap and other 4.2.2 roms. Updates to MK2 and your tw 4.3, with root but no custom recovery, no unlocked bootloader and no way to downgrade.

Yeah I was definitely gonna stay 4.2.2 for a bit until a root method came out. Earlier I asked what the new baseband would be so I could keep checking Google for a root method.

Never is a long time, as someone else posted eventually one or more of the developers will find away to root and have custom recovery sit tight and wait for it, Once you take the MF3 update you can not go back. I'm on MDL and am enjoying running CM and what else is out their. It will come.

Whichever road you take do whole lots of reading and when you think you've read enough read some more and always do a backup. Long time ago I thought I had read enough and only to find had I read more I would have found that the method I was trying did not apply to my phone I had an Atrix 2 and the method was for the Atrix and Droid. I ended up with a paper weight. Good luck and take your time

As far as i know there is a possible root. Is it XT912, or XT902? That'd be helpful information. Also your probably ruining jellybean(4.1.2) which you can root. There is a forum explaining the root process for a razr m using motochopper.

Yes but they are unified builds. We will not get them until this boot loader is unlocked. It was probably a mistake including Verizon in the list.
So....with this being available, can we at least safestrap it?
